Crying...


I'm a grown man of 30 and the ending made me cry!

Anyone else share a similar experience?

reply

No.

Soul-less heathen...

I kind of held it together until Andy started talking about Woody. Totally embarrased my kid, which was worth the admission alone.

I cried twice. The first time when the toys hold hands when they think they are about to be burnt alive and the second time at the ending.

I'm 40, and yes, the ending reduced me to tears. My son (8) said the ending nearly made him cry, while my daughter (4) just got up and danced to the end credits. My wife was emotional for the rest of the evening. The anecdotal evidence suggests the ending pulls the heartstrings of adults more so than children.

reply

I'm 17, and cried like a baby at the ending.

"We came on holiday by mistake!"

reply

I'm 79 years old and I cried, I mostly cried when my dog farted at the end because the smell was so rancid

reply

The part where the toys are about to get melted and realize it and start holding hands ready to die. That scene was really epic, especially for a kids movie. Definitely sad whether you wanna admit it or not.

reply

Yes, it got to me too, and I'm 49.

reply

yeah... well only adults will really understand the way they treated their toys when they grew older, kids just like the colors.

reply

come on now, not only adults can appreciate their toys. I'm 20 now but saw the movie when i was 19 (not like it's much of a difference), but I definitely had an imagination when I was a kid and all i did was play with my toys. I didn't cry in the end of the movie but it did make me think about how much i really miss being a kid and how much my toys meant to me. I still have some of my closest ones kept somewhere.

I'm 13. I had to watch this in class. Oh my gosh, I almost started crying in front of my friends. Lol.

reply

That's when I cried too.

reply

I'm a 52 year old man, and I cried like a baby at the end, and barely held on when they were thinking that their end was near.

reply

No.
This.

reply

I lost it when the doll picked up the heart with the girls name on it and said "Mama"

I'm pretty sure my cat is reading my diary

reply

Yeah, me too. Mainly because that doll looks almost exactly like one I had as a kid, and which my daughter now has.

reply

I'm 20 and I cried as well.

I've seen it twice. The first time I saw it, I didn't cry but I came close.

The second time, I definitely cried, I think because I knew how it was going to end. The last scene is just really really sad. Especially the part when Andy says that the toys never give up on you.

"So it's sorta social, demented, and sad. But social, right?"

reply

I shed a tear at the last scene, when Andy wouldn't let go of Woody.

reply

I didn't cry but it was touching... especially when the girl reached for Woody and Andy paused for a moment...

Then Andy played with him one last time...

Then I realized that when Woody looked at the picture he realized they will always be with Andy.

i'm a 23 year old guy and i'm made fun of for being really unemotional. there have been movies that i called "evocative" because they were. i knew they were supposed to make you feel sad or happy or both, however i hadn't cried because of a movie since Lion King (or cried at all) for a very very long time. or even gotten angry or showed happiness beyond a genuine smile or a laugh.

Pixar, however...i don't know how they do it, but they pulled at something deep inside. i whispered "no..." when i Wall-E's "eyes" went blank near the end and i could feel tears welling in my eyes and the throat felt all blocked up but i pulled through because it was a happy ending and i came out smiling. then again with Up when they showed the montage of Mr. Fredrickson with Ellie and she passes away was so sweet and well done (i don't know how - it was just a MONTAGE - i've watched entire movies where the character didn't grow that much and they were MEANT to) i could feel that emptiness inside. i smiled and felt like giving random people and my grandma a big hug when he gives the kid his "ellie badge". but of course, i didn't, telling myself "oh c'mon this is a children's cartoon. don't be ridiculous!" and i came away saying "yeah that was really good" and my friend just shook his head at me.

so far i'd kept up my "didn't actually cry" record, past every feel good movie and gladiator and everything until at the end of THIS, my whole childhood came flooding back. all the memories, with their sights, sounds, smells; it was a surreal experience, like i was a kid again watching my favourite cartoons (toy story 1 and 2 amongst them) and playing with my favourite toys and that world was much more real than any other. i could remember the fun i used to have. the things i used to imagine. the anticipation of watching the next episode or finishing my homework to play with my toys. for a moment, i WAS a child again.
right at the end when woody says "so long partner", i smiled and got up to walk away and took off my glasses to wipe them and realized i had a tear running down my face...
the rest of the day all i could think about all the stuff i used to do as a when i was young. god i miss being a kid...

laziest guy on God's good earth? ME!

reply

Im 29. It was a touching scene, but it wasnt enough to reduce me to tears.

reply


yeah that's exactly it. i don't cry in these things. i often make fun of friends who do. this particular movie, on the other hand, made me shed a solitary tear that i wasn't aware of. i think that was more because of how much it reminded me of a life that was. the simpler times when i didn't have to worry about all the *beep* that i do now...
when the world that i created for my toys was much more real than the one where i have job interviews coming up and i waaaay behind on my research paper and i still haven't gotten a few of my grades sorted out...
and i have to look for an apartment. ugh. i wish i was a kid again...

reply

Yes - my eyes were stinging a bit. Though, all the kids in the place were bored and restless by the end, which rather spoilt the atmosphere... Perhaps I should have left it 'til next week, when they're all back in school again.

reply

I bawled like a baby the entire time.

reply

I'm 20 years old and I was a total gonner during the movie. I was six when the first movie came out and the whole of "Toy Story 3" was so emotional for me.

The singer who performed "You've Got a Friend in Me" in Danish died some years ago, but hearing his song was still in the movie, made me realize that "oh my God, I'm a kid again and I'm watching a new Toy Story movie".
All of the original voices returned except for John Hahn-Petersen, who did the Danish voice for Mr. Potato Head, who died in 2004. His replacement was excellent.

The first time I nearly choked was when Woody called the group together, and seeing his expression when he heard that Bo Peep was gone. The moment when the soldiers went away too was really sad.

After that it was still emotional but also fun and play, so that was alright.

The one time I really began to cry was when Lotso leaves the toys and they fall into the ashes. Seeing the roaring flames coming closer and Woody desperatly trying to save Rex was the moment I went "you can't be doing this. They have no escape. What's gonna happen?". Woody trips and looks over at Jessie who with her facial expression seemed to say "Woody, this is it. It's over. Let it go..." and reaches her hand over at him. I started to sob and cried like a baby as Rex and Hamm and all the others hold hands and accepted their fate. To me this was like seeing your loved ones die. I couldn't believe that my childhood friends were going to die in front of my eyes. If I had been watching it in 3D my glasses would have been dewy. I was in shock.

In any other movie it would be obvious that the heroes escaped, but the way this was made, and because the whole movie was about rejection, I honest to God, never would have imagined them escaping their doom.
But then the three aliens saved them with the crane. This is where I laid my head on my girl friend's shoulder and cried out. She held my hand, as she was emotional too, but not as much as me. This was the first time I had ever cried in a theater.

I was crying the rest of the movie, partially because I was still in shock and happy that they survived, but also because I knew this was the end, and that Andy had to let go of Woody, Buzz and the rest of the gang, and I would never see them again.

When Andy was presenting all of his toys to the little girl, I cried like I did during the previous scene. I flashbacked through the previous movies and the cinema experiences I had at a very young age. This was simply beautiful and when Andy said goodbye to Woody I understand that we never could have lived without this movie, and that it came out at the right time. The 11 years of waiting meant nothing. I cried of joy, holding my friend's hand, as the camera tilted up and faded out on the blue sky with with white clouds, the first frame we saw in the first movie.

I was a kid again for a couple of hours, and left with a feeling of having grown up.

Luckily only three (very quite) kids were in the theater besides some adults, because I believe this movie wasn't made for the 5-10 year olds. It was made for me, and all other kids who had grown up watching Toy Story and Toy Story 2.
This is the best three-quel ever made, the best one of the 20 movies I've seen this year, and to me, a clear serious Best Screenplay and Best Picture Oscar contender. The only animated movie that made almost all the grownups and not the kids cry deserves this.

I have only given this rating to a handful of films, but Toy Story 3 is definitely - 10/10

Stop thinking about it and enjoy the movie

reply

Teary-eyed by end too but that wonderful credit sequence, especially the thrilling paso doble between Buzz and Jessie, made me leave the film as happy and content as I was emotional and nostalgic.

It seems there were quite a few who missed those credits - how could they leave during the credits of a Pixar movie!

Now Film-Allan, that was a wonderful message. But it wasn't Woody and Jessie looking at each other: it was Buzz who gave Jessie that look of hopelessness, despair, and love, and they held hands, the rest followed, and then Buzz offers his hand to Woody who takes it. Classic moment.

reply

I agree. I was 9 when the first movie came out and I just about remember watching it at the cinema. This movie was all about letting go of childhood and parents having to do the same with their children. Anybody above 16 could relate to this feeling to some extent.

What is your function?

reply

I was tempted, it's not even fair, this movie sucker punches. But my four year old cousin wasn't crying, and he's way whinier than most four year olds, so I refused to cry before him. But as said before, I was damn tempted.
